What I saw next was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen.
————————————————————-
There layed Emily on the floor of our bathroom floor with a pill bottle in her hand.
"COURTNEY!" I yelled. I ran to Emily's side and cradled her head in my lap.
"God please let her be ok..." I cried.
Cortney came running up the stairs and rushed into the bathroom. (I didn't even scold this time) I tossed her the pill bottle and she read it. Courtney took out her phone and dialed 9-1-1. I just prayed she was ok.
The ambulance came and only one person was allowed in with her. Courtney went with her and I drove behind the ambulance. Tears fell down my face and I called Joel.
——ring——ring—-
"Hello?" Joel answered.
* JOEL's P.O.V. *
I was reading the newspaper while Moriah was making dinner.
"Moriah you should read this article when you have a chance. It's really interesting. " I hollered.
The phone rang before I got an answer. It was Luke.
"Hello?"
Luke rushed too fast for me to understand
"Woah...Luke breathe....what's wrong?" I said calmingly.
"Emily has tried to commit suicide. We are on the way to the hospital. I can you please take care of the house while we are gone. I don't know how long we will be. Hopefully a couple days." Luke sighed. You could tell he was really upset.
"Yeah of course...I'll pray for you.." I said before he hung up.
" Who was that?"Moriah asked.
"Luke...Emily's tried to commit suicide." I responded. Moriah did not respond, she was shocked.
"We should go see her.." she sighed.
"No. We'll wait til morning." I sighed quietly.
Moriah nodded in agreement.
"Dinner is ready by the way... I'm not hungry but if you are it's on the stove." Moriah said quietly.
—————-———*Luke's P.O.V. *——————
We arrived to the hospital. They took Emily back. We rushed behind her but was stopped by a nurse.
"Please our daughter!"Courtney cried.
"I understand but—" She calmly stated.
"No you don't understand!" I scolded.
"Sir please. Just sit. I'll let you know when you can go back." She sighed impatiently.
I huffed and guided Courtney to a chair.
I could not sit. I paced and paced.
"Luke. Pacing isn't going to make the time go faster..."Courtney sighed. I just ignored her.
Night turned into day. Courtney fell asleep on my shoulder.
"Emily Davis!" A nurse called. Courtney and I practically ran.
"We are her guardians." Courtney sighed.
"Follow me.." the nurse sighed.
